Ok so my Girlfriend is the head of the toy department for Fred Myer and because of my recommendation to order more joes her sales on action figures has tripled. While she is mixed in her feeling about my collecting she is for the most part positive and supportive. Well anyways she had a pallet of toys come in and among them were 3 boxes of wave 11. She put all of them out on the pegs and waited 45min for her break. The 5th was a super sale at Fred Myers and she had a huge collection of coupons. Mark down price on all action figures, 10% off, another 10% off, and then she gets her 15% off employee discount for toys. On top of all that she had a $2 off coupon for a single hasbro action figure and a $10 off purchase of so much. So I figure with the original mark down price of $5.59 for the figure - $0.56 for the 10% and -$0.51 for the other 10% and -$0.68 for my gf's employee discount you get $3.84 a figure. She bought twelve (12) (two complete sets of wave 11)) and with the $12 off the final price it came to 34.08 or $2.84 a figure (regularly 6.99 around here) no tax because its Oregon. The funny thing is she bought the joes to bring her shopping total up to benefit from the coupon. She was going to just call me and make me buy them but she felt that if she was ever going to buy me joes on her dime she was going to make sure they were damn near free. And because nobody believes anything on the tank without pics (LOL) I have them ready.

But next time ask her to buy you a camera. |

1st post. I had to chime in on this. I have not owned a gi joe since the great attic purge of 1996,until the 25th line. My wife has become more obsessed than I am. She's Great about it.
I'm supposedly getting a haul this year for x-mas. Only hint she'll give me is she's spent $220.00 just on joes. Can't wait for christmas!

Nice dude! My lady always replies with "Oh Boy" in a sarcastic tone when I start to ramble on about joes'...

i got a similar deal at kohls, just without the emploee discount
from 9.99, matched targets 4.99, they were also on sale, because it was ''evening sale'' which brought it down to 3.89 a figure.....so i got two sets of wave10 minus wraiths |

At first my wife did the eye-rolling, sighing, and throwing of weird looks too.
But now, when she goes out, she always stops by the toy aisle to see what joes they have. She either calls me or (get this) PULLS OUT HER LIST that she requested from me! This began occuring when I pointed out to her that collecting joes is way cheaper then golfing, hunting, etc. Told her it also keeps me around the house more (since I dont have interest in the above anyway) WIN, WIN!!!
